How should a concert named "Ray Brown Tribute" (came from a New Yorker listing) be processed? Options include:

To find who's actually playing in the New Yorker, a new web site needs to be opened "http://www.newyorker.com/arts/events/nightlife/ray-brown-tribute-blue-note" which includes the concert name and the venue.

Chose 1st option (strip "tribute") (for ease) see commit 2fc4ff3ca706258563ee

Bela (accent on the a) Fleck is not properly handled by the function createArtistUrl function in users_controller.rb because of the accent.

"Dave Matthews B" was not found in Spotify
Crosby, Stills, and Nash was split into "Crosby", "Stills", and "Nash"
"Jorge Aragão" was not found (but it was in Spotify) - site was confused by the tilda on the "a"

Parsing is very poor for venues like the Village Vanguard and the Blue Note
